Human Resources Minister V.

Themed HR 5.0: Evolution in Human Resource Development, the event will discuss five key topics that aim to equip leaders, industry players, senior management, HR practitioners and working professionals with skills and knowledge to champion the implementation of human capital transformation initiative in their respective organisations.

The conference will feature more than 20 renowned local and international speakers, 50 exhibitors from various industries and about 1,000 delegates from Penang, Perak, Kedah and Perlis at the two-day event.

The event is held in conjunction with the ministry's “Hari Bertemu Pelanggan”, which was held at the same venue where Sivakumar visited the booths after announcing the launch of
